Debian Multimedia :: Wodim - Writing Erasing Errors In K3B
Nov 12, 2010
I've been running Lenny for quite a while and have always been plagued by strange CD writing/erasing errors in K3B. I also tried erasing my CDRWs using wodim from the command prompt but had erratic results there also. I was researching these problems on Google recently and finally found a solution as well as an explanation of the cause of all the difficulties. Go here [URL], do some reading and then download/install cdrtools-3.00 from the link on the main page. The package did all the work for me including updating the default programs in K3B - now everything works as it should. I sincerely hope Debian will reconsider the trouble-prone fork of the original cdrecord (wodim) and make Jorg Schilling's excellent cdrecord the package of choice for future releases of Debian.

I tried to use the command line to burn an iso image onto a cd.
According to the instructions, which I read in many places, I should use the following command:

I tried the following (in an Ubuntu-Hardy desktop):

1) where was all that written?
2) how to use the command line to write CDs?

I asked the question on LQ, but since activity related to Debian there is smaller, it is here.
I can't start Openbox, using xinit or startx. I have a warning when using xinit:
Code: Select all***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :
This program is calling the Imlib call:
  imlib_context_free();
  With the parameter:
  context
  being NULL. Please fix your program.
I don't have dbus, display managers, X is started on tty3 because I reduced the number of ttys. In xinitrc there is
Code: Select allexec openbox-session
I see a cursor appearing for a second, but then the screen goes back to tty.
The problem is new; I'd been using Openbox for a couple of months back then, and it was fine.
System is Unstable.

I'm using Debian Wheezy on amd64 using the binary nVidia drivers from the Debian repository. When I started up my computer yesterday, everything worked fine. Then I started installing a bunch of updates going back a week since I had it turned off for a week. This seems to have messed with my nVidia drivers. I could run GNOME at 1080p just fine, but I couldn't run prboom-plus or glxgears since they would give me errors about not being able to find a screen. Strangely enough, Wine could run both Proun and Bulletstorm without a problem.
I looked at synaptic and tried to install nvidia-glx to solve my driver problems, but it gave me an error about not having the correct version of libgl1-nvidia-glx. I try installing that and it wants to remove 140 programs first! Of course I refuse to let it do so. Then I figure it might have to do with some other program that these programs are dependent on. So I check the package dependencies and lo and behold, they all require libgl1-mesa-glx. I try removing that and synaptic also says that I have to remove those 140 programs with it. I give up and try playing the Half-Life 2 demo via Wine. When it hangs I restart my computer. However, while rebooting, I got this nice error message from X that said that apparently I don't have any nVidia drivers anymore.
I would prefer not to use sgfxi to do driver updates. One of the reasons I switched to the repository's drivers is because I was tired of having to reinstall my drivers every time there was a kernel update in testing.
Tried using vesa in xorg.conf, it also didn't work. Detailed X output said something about being able to find a screen but it wasn't usable.

I have new hardware (Nvidia Geforce GTX 960) which required new drivers. I'm running jessie but had to install the driver version 352.30 from the experimental repo. Everything seems to work fine, except after a suspend. On resume, the X server exists with errors, and I'm dropped back to the Linux console.
I've done a fair amount of searching, but the problem most people seem to have is corruption or black screen. I'm getting something equally annoying but less severe: I just get dropped back to the shell, but as soon as I restart the X server with startx everything continues to work... until the next suspend.
My full Xorg.0.log is at [URL] .... . Here are the errors that appear after the suspend:
Code: Select all[Â 1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: disconnected
[Â 1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: Internal DisplayPort

I am trying to instsal Gnome. While installing, 'gnome-getting-started-docs' fails. This is not a critical package, and I would like to see gnome installation / setup continue.
Is it possible with some command line options? I've tried 'apt-get -f install' 'apt-get -m install gnome' and various combinations thereof.
(Error I see is 'dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: lzma error: compressed data is corrupt).

I love how Rhythmbox connects quickly and easily to my iPod, and how Rhythmbox does a pretty solid job of keeping track of changes to my library, though it is large. But I cannot seem to create playlists on the iPod through Rhythmbox. When I create them, I can see them in Rhythmbox, but when I unplug the iPod and try to play them, they don't show up. I plug the iPod back in, and Rhythmbox acts like they're there - I can even play the Playlist from the iPod in Rhythmbox.
Is there something I need to do to "write" the Playlist to the iPod from Rhythmbox? It is so irritating to have to create an "on the go" playlist on the iPod and then fire up Rhythmbox and rename it what i want it to be.

I am running Debian squeeze on a Seagate Dockstar. It boots Debian from a USB flash drive, and has two 1 TB usb hard disks hooked to it. The machine is used for only rtorrent and nfs. The flash drive contains only the system software and rtorrent. All of the data that rtorrent moves around is on the usb hard disks, including downloaded data, watch folder, and session folder. About once a day I run rsync with the source being usb_1 and the target being usb_2: # time rsync --progress --stats -a --delete /media/usb_1/ /media/usb_2 Since this machine boots from a usb flash drive, I'm interested in keeping the number of writes to the flash drive to a minimum. The machine used to boot from an Adata flash drive, which has no LED. That drive wore out after about five months. Completely dead, as in gparted would fail with an I/O error on write when trying to write a new partition table to it. No big deal - I restored the software to a new flash drive using an image I had made in Clonezilla.
The new drive (a Sandisk Cruzer 4 GB) has an LED and I assume this is showing me when the drive is being accessed, read and write. When the system is at idle, the LED sort of "breathes" off and on slowly. When rtorrent is downloading or uploading, it flashes a few times and goes back to breathing.
I'm assuming that once everything has been loaded and the system has been running a while that when the LED flashes, that means that data is being written to the flash drive. (Is this a good assumption?) With just rtorrent running, there's not much flashing, maybe 10 - 20 times/minute. However when rsync is running, the LED just flashes on and off like crazy. The daily rsync run takes anywhere from three to 30 minutes, depending on how much new data was downloaded each day. But no matter how long it takes, the LED just flashes like crazy the whole time.
I'm assuming this means that all the new data from the source drive is being written temporarily to the flash drive or something like that, and this is wearing the flash drive out prematurely. Does this sound likely? If so, is there a way to get rsync not to do this and to do its thing in RAM only and not write to the boot flash drive?

for the last three days, I have been trying to get my drive ( LiteOn iHas624 ) to work. Unfortunatly, it seems that I can only use the burner with Nero4Linux or Brasero, but not K3B.DVD-RAM/+RW packet writing seems neither to work out of the box, nor by the setup as suggested in /usr/share/doc/udftools/README.Debian or the media4linux howto(just to name the most promising, i definitly read more on the issue).
I tried to format the DVDs in various udf revisions, as well as ext2 just to check, but without success.As I am close to the point where I would rule out the possibility to obtain package writing capability, I dare to ask for help.I would be very grateful for any hint or reading recommendation on the issue.
Yours, Benjamin.

I always wanted to get into writing open source applications for debian. The only problem I ever saw was that I do not know C++ which seems to be the popular language to build applications. My expertise is Java and I think that java applications could run on debian just as good as C++ applications. What I do at work is write applications in java for unix systems so I think I porting my skills over to debian would not be a problem. I have not seen any applications in java on debian yet and thought people might have a problem with them. Is there any reason more java applications are not being written on debian? Also does anyone know of hand if there is any orphaned java application for debian. I had a look on this page but it is hard to know what language the application is written in. [URL]

I have tried to configure an Enemy Territory Server in an way that a common user could run it just executing a command line. The first thing I did was writing a script like that
/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etded +set dedicated 1 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_game etpub +set fs_homepath /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/27960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +set +exec server.cfg +set +exec punkbuster.cfg +set +exec bots.cfg
and then putting it in the /usr/local/bin directory. Ok, the things seem to be fine, but then I realized that the program tries to write some config and log files. I noticed that because some warnings appear in the command line, like that Couldn't write etconfig.cfg always that I run the command as a normal user. On the other hand, if I give writing permission to these files, all the warnings disapear.
But I don't think it is a good way, because someone could change these files by hand, what would not be good.
My last try was to set the suid of the script up, with the command chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/etded-server
But as I already knew that suid does not work well with shell script I wrote a C source like that:

I am trying to get Debian 7.4 to burn 50Gb Blueray disks for backups using K3b. The GUI based program is important.
The reason I am using Linux Kernel 3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64 is that I am running an i7-4770K CPU and the motherboard a Supermicro c7-z87-oce (NO overclocking) and 32G RAM. I have had no other problems since using the backported kernel and turning off the onboard graphics and using an nvidia G210 graphics card.
The Pioneer BDR-209M CD/DVD/Blueray burner reads CDs and DVDs to the extent I am able to install Wheezy, and then use a backported kernel. However, it will not write CD's, DVD's and it won't recognize Blueray disks.
I have spent some time weeding through conflicting information and I wanted to verify there is not a work around. I have downloaded and installed the current version of cdrecord to no avail. I have completely removed everything CD/DVD/Blueray related and reinstalled, also to no avail.
Then I came across this statement from: [URL] ....
In all programs of the fork that send SCSI commands, you may be unable to access any of the CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drives at all if you are on Linux-2.6.8.1 or later. This is due to a missing workaround for the Linux kernel interface change that happened with Linux-2.6.8.1.

I mount a BD-RE in Debian Jessie to write about 20GB of data. But the writing speed is terrible slow. I get a Speed of 250kb/sec.
Are there any options to increase the speed of writing? I don't use packet writing and no wodim, no growisofs, nothing. I just mounted the disk and I use mc (Midnight commander) to copy the data.

I have inherited ownership of a Debian server process that logs its error message to stdout/stderr. Currently its initscript has lines like:
start-stop-daemon [options] --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_ARGS < /dev/null 2>&1 | logger $LOG_OPTIONS 2> /dev/null &
I have tried to abstract as much of that away as possible. The options specify a pid file, to make a pid file. A subsequent line tries to establish whether the process is up, though I think several conditions are not checked for. This script seems pretty ropey to me. I am trying to start again with the lsb-base one in /etc/init.d/skeleton though that is going to require a lot of modification. get the code change to use the syslog API however that is out of the question at least for now.
1.) Create a named pipe
2.) Start up a logger daemon that reads from the named pipe
3.) start up the server process that writes to the named pipe
It would be ideal for this if start-stop-daemon offered options to specify where the IO of the daemon process should be redirected to. However I am not about to offer to adopt that package (with ~400 bugs) so I doubt that will happen. Trying to specify the redirection on the command line does not work. In the case of the logger daemon start-stop-daemon seems to hang on the system call. In the case of the server process the pipe gets closed when start-stop-daemon exits, so the logger daemon exits. None of that seems surprising.So what I am doing now is to write simple wrapper scripts for the server and logger processes. Both wrapper scripts have this structure:
1.) sanity check the arguments
2.) exec program [suitable redirection of IO]
Then the start-stop-daemon can call the wrapper scripts as daemons. From my experiments so far this seems to work. However I feel a bit uncomfortable with this. It introduces several new wrapper scripts.I cannot think of any obvious security holes but I suppose race conditions are inevitable.

I have two harddrives installed on my HTPC. I am using the smaller (120gb) to run the OS (kubuntu 10) the larger (1 tb) I want to use to store all of my media.
However....
The second hard drive has THREE linux Distros on it (from me testing and playing and making decisions) and I CANT figure out how to get them off.....
The hard drives are SATA and plugged in in the correct order.
I have tried fdisking and reformating which seemed to work, but when I boot it still asks me which OS i want to boot to.
Right now I am trying to zero out the hard drive by using ths
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
I typed that in as root about 15 minutes ago and hit enter. it hasn't said anything since. no command prompt or anythng. I am hoping it is working, we will see.
